Love songs, Funny story. Gemma-Kins

Let me start off by saying I'm pretty sure this is the longest I've gone without blogging in.... probably 2 years. Wow.

But there'll be a fun thing to share soon. :D So, get your excited wardrobes on.

And here's a few COUNTRY songs that I'm kind of in love with.

Be a Best friend, tell the truth

And Overuse "I love you"

Go to work, do your best

Don't outsmart your common sense

Never let your prayin' knees get lazy

And love like crazy

Always treat your woman like a lady

Never get to old to call her baby

Never let your prayin' knees get lazy

And love like Crazy

{Just a few of my favorite lines from the song.}

Let's just talk about how cute this is for a minute.

Okay, I'll stop being gushy. 

Just after this next song too...

I wish I could have gone to his concert with Al and Gnat. 

Okay, I lied. 

one more.

I seriously love this song. It's super cute and tender. 

Now, if only there's actually a guy left that is this romantic. 

Sometimes I seriously doubt there is. 

Anywho, I feel I owe you a funny story.

So this one time I was in Vernal visiting my friend Allison. Natalie came to visit too! 

I was just about to head home {3 hour drive} and was going to feed my car some lunch. Well, I locked my keys in my car. sigh. 

Let me count how many times in the one year I've had my car that I've done that. At least 5. It's ridiculous. 

Well, this time, my spare key was in Orem, and I had to get home to work. 

It was a trial. 

This kind of rough lookin guys tried to break in for me, No success. Made me feel safer knowing that it's hard to break into calvin. 

Then the other trial was that my cell phone decided it wanted to stop working 2 days previously. So I couldn't call anyone.

Allison was there, and her phone's battery was dead. So we used the gas station's phone to call her dad, who called her mom, who had to come rescue poor us. It was pitiful and heart wrenching and tramatic. 

Okay, so it wasn't that bad. more just embarrassing that I always lock my keys in the car at the most awkward possible situations. {2nd time at a gas station, mind you}

I also locked them in the car the morning betsy got married. I seriously almost cried because I almost missed her coming out of the temple. 

My life. There is absolutely nothing boring about it. 

“The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache.”
― Marjorie Pay Hinckley

What a wise woman she was. 

In breaking news as of 2 days ago, My little Gemma-kins is sitting up all by herself! 

What a big, strong girl she is!

via her mommy's facebook page.

I'm going to miss that giggle box. 

p.s. i'm teaching her to love pearls too. 

At this point, she just likes to eat mine though. You have to start somewhere, right? ;)

3 days till Logan!!!! you can tell by the packing tornado that hit my house.... 

Sorry mom.....

BEHOLD my life in pictures.

Okay, so all these cool blogging ladies have this thing where every once in a while they put up all their pictures from their phone and have some fancy title.

well, I don't have a fancy phone, in fact, mine will be 4 years old in october. It's a champion I tell you. It has about a million and a half scratches and spazzes {how does one spell that word?} out from time to time. But, It has this fancy thing called a camera. and the reason i bought this particular phone in the first place was because way back 4 years ago, most phones had 1.3 megapixels and when my little eyes saw this fun pink phone with a whopping 5 megapixel camera, I said, "i'm getting that one" and i did. {wow Bri, that was a wonderful mega run on sentence!!}

so, while these pictures don't really have the same pop as iphone pictures, it's pretty good for a 4 year old phone's camera, right??

p.s. my phone is called the behold. just so my title makes some sense.
p.s.s. i realize this post isn't about Betsy's wedding, I haven't had time to go through those pictures yet.

This is how Q did his hair fro his drivers license picture. what a champion.

little gemma has some rockin shades.

i hope my mom doesn't kill me for putting this up. 

I got Q these swim trunk things in Germany. he's not allowed to wear them out of the house..... look at his WHITE legs though. haha

yay for new makeup!! :D

Quinton puts "smurf" cereal on his icecream... weirdo.

Betsy washing her wedding dress in a normal washer. scary moment!

Betsy's brother Andrew, taped a "Y" paper over my Aggie sticker on my car. haha

I painted my nails real cute like.

I made bridal shower cupcakes.

this is weird. I've worked there a fifth of my life?? {5th year means 4 years. FYI}

Sometimes that makes me a little sick feeling.

Harmons sells OHS stuff!! woo!

I colored real nicely in my mom's primary class. Stylish Guy if I do say so myself. :D

I'm very strongly strongly opposed to putting pictures of myself from a mirror picture because I think they're kind of extremely tacky, but, I LOVE this dress i bought! And it looks a lot better on than on the hanger. It has a lace top. :D I can't wait to wear it sunday!

grilled PB and Marshmallow sandwich. 

try it for dinners!

deep in thought while sleeping on grandma

"Why is uncle Q wearing my bib with no shirt?"

I found this ferrari car thing in the OHS parking lot. 

I thought it would have been a better use of this guy's money to pay for my college.... but I guess he didn't think so.

so i thought these were donkeys on the bum of this ADORABLE baby outfit, but turns out it was a zebra. If i had the money, i would have bought this for a future daughter.

baby clothes are my weakness. 

I found cowboy snow boots!! once again, i wish i could put this in my hope chest. 

sometimes I get bored at work and make snow flakes out of baby wipes at the register.

my grandma cobb bought me these adorable teal eyelet shoes! woo! can't wait to wear them!

this machine is at the wendy's down the street from my home. and that's emilie. it was just remodeled. 

the problem with having this many flavors is.... that I still just get plain dr pepper..... 

I don't like drinking soda too much. So if I'm going to drink it, Why not just drink my favorite?? 

emilie got raspberry coke. it was mighty tasty, actually. 

my newest nails. fun summer color and sparkles.

I made myself a malt to watch the olypmpics. 

notice the hundred wedding announcements on the fridge. 

all my friends decided this summer would be perfect to get wed.

and these next few pictures aren't from my phone. But I doubt you even care.

happy grampy with gemma 

peek a boo.

i love that her feet are on her mommy's

she loved this!

grandpa got out his dinosaur video recorder. 

I'm sure he used his "camera trick" to make two of Gemma.

Welp, i'm gonna go watch some olympics, mmmkay?

and just in case you were wondering how many times I've had the hiccups today, the answer is 6. SIX! It's annoyingly painful. 

I can't help it.

you know how songs tell a story? And sometimes they kind of {kind of} apply to your life? well THIS song came on when i was listening to pandora while I made my journals. {which BTW if you were wondering, turned out beautifully.} I love Ingrid. And this song. I like Elvis's version, but i'm a woman, and so is Ingrid, so it works better with the whole thing of 'applying to my life' shenanigans. {p.s. did you know that's a real word??? HERE's the definition... i don't necessarily think i used it right. but i'll leave it there anyways.} Where was i going with this? oh yeah, the song, "i can't help falling in love". here are the lyrics. and i'm going to add my life in parenthesis to the side of each line if i choose. :D

Wise men say, {and women like my mom}
only fools rush in, {but i'm not}
but I can't help falling in love with you. {or like}

Shall I stay, {but i have to go back to school!}
would it be a sin, {probably not...}
if I can't help falling in love with you. {/like}

Like a river flows surely to the sea,
darling so it goes,
somethings are meant to be. {it is possible}

Take my hand, {for reals!!!!}
take my whole life too, { :D }
for I can't help falling in love with you.

Like a river flows surely to the sea,
darling so it goes,
somethings are meant to be. {we shall see}

So won't you just please {please!}
Take my hand, {Did you see i asked nicely?}
and take my whole life too, {go ahead. :D }
cause I can't help falling in love with you. {might be}

cause I can't help falling in love with you.

yep, i think it could apply.

I also think THIS song applies to my life in some ways too. First off. Carrie Underwood is amazing. second of all i kinda understand this song better now.

"the night before"

Sittin' up on the roof {or in his car}
Sneakin' a smoke by the chimney {drinking a dr pepper}
Checkin' out the moon and the city lights {or the ducks and swings at nielson's grove}
He takes off his flannel shirt {he's not a cowboy though...}
And he drapes it around her shoulders
Slides up behind her and holds on tight {or next to}
And she says, "I don't want this night to end
Why does it have to end?" {perfect}

Tomorrow she'll be rollin' down I-10 Baton Rouge {in a few days she'll be headed up I-15 Logan}
LSU 18 years in her rear view {USU 19 and a half years}
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block {actually in Murray}
At daddy's shop, it ain't much but it's a job {scratch out 'ain't much' and daddy's shop}
They've been dreadin' this moment all summer long
The night before life goes on {4 nights before}

Ooh, a tear falls off her cheek and {this will most likely happen when it IS the night before}
Right when it hits his arm he says {i hope my sad tears don't land on his arm. that seem kinda awkward}
"Come on baby, lets get outta here" {aww!}
They take one last drive around town {i know this is true}
And man it already looks different
He bangs the wheel and says
"Life ain't fair and this growin' up stuff man I don't know
I just don't wanna let you go" {aww! this would be pretty cute actually!}

Tomorrow shell be rollin' down I-10 Baton Rouge {in a few days she'll be headed up I-15 Logan}
LSU 18 years in her rear view {USU 19 and a half years}
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block {actually in Murray}
At daddy's shop, it ain't much but it's a job {scratch out 'ain't much' and daddy's shop}
They've been dreadin' this moment all summer long
The night before life goes on {4 nights before}

Yeah, that's what my momma told me {don't you hate it when mom's right?}
And just like those kids
I didn't wanna listen to no one
Yeah, there's nothin' you can do
There's nothin' you can say
And I know how it feels when love goes away {tis true}

Tomorrow she'll be rollin' down I-10 Baton Rouge {in a few days she'll be headed up I-15 Logan}
LSU 18 years in her rear view {USU 19.5 years}
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block {actually in Murray}
At daddy's shop, it ain't much but it's a job {scratch out 'ain't much' and 'daddy's shop'}
They've been dreadin' this moment all summer long
But here it is they don't have long {frowny face}
The night before life goes on {sad truth}

so there you have it, my life {sorta} in 2 songs.

Ward Business time-

Quinton had his surgery on his ankle today. boo!

anyways, We {dad, mom, Em, Tay and i} were all there when he came out of recovery room. it was freakin hilarious! i video'd him but i'm kinda bad at the whole adding a video to blog thing. He said the funniest things and was so confused. it was great. definitely the most exciting thing of the day. ya know, other than cleaning the bathroom and doing a sink full of dishes. ;) Quinton's cast is PINK! because apparently they ran out of all the other colors except red. {and if you know my brother in the least, you know he wouldn't be caught dead with red on. ya know, mt view AND U of U}

I think this is going to be all for now.

loves and hugs.

happy 12th of August. have a good weekend. i may not blog again till i move. we shall see.

Baby Names & a traumatic fish story.

So my sister and i have a list {i know, shocker that i have another list} of names that we like for future childrens we'll have. We read them off to our familia after dinner tonight and i don't think my parents really like either of ours. it's kind of funny how many of Ashleigh's and mine are the same. i'll bold those ones for your viewing pleasure. and i'll tell you the reaction on some that i remember too.

I have a lot more girl names than guys names. is this a sign that i'll have more girls? As long as i have a boy first i'm fine with that. Why i want a boy first you may ask? Because i've always wanted a big brother. I only have one brother, he's pretty cool. He'd be a cool big brother. Em's pretty lucky to have a big brother. I want all of my daughters {it's bound to be more girls. cause boys are a very rare thing in my family.} to have a big brother.

here are the girl names. these are not in any particular order. but, i will say, my girls are most definitely getting middle names. maybe even more than one.

Grace

Lavender {really weird faces made here} i think it's cute! how adorable would it be to have twin girls and name them violet and lavender??? i think cute! then i'd paint their room purple. perrrrfect.

Vadynn- pronounced vay din. {ash has Vandi on her list. both V names}

Poppy {i don't think my parents like this either}

Alice

Jane

Paisleigh-as you have noticed the typical "ly" spelling of a name will not be used with my childrens. i think the leigh is more feminine and it's kinda after Ashleigh's name too.

Ivy

Violet

Aspen

Milleigh

Oakleigh

Saffron- mom said, "what are you trying to start a new spice girls girl?"

Leyna

Quinton said, "do you have any non-plant names?"

haha. i never noticed this! but i think they're cute names!

and here are the boy names. like i said, very limited. Boy names are hard. i think there are so many of the same name and it's hard to be unique with them because you don't want them to sound girly.

James- this one is the first born son's name of both ash's and i's {and even emilie if you can believe it} and Quinton's middle name, and Grandpa's name. To say the least, it's a fav of everyones. hence why i'm cursing ash to have all girls till i get married and have a son first. i'm calling all of Ash and Nathan's sons Bill. Because then he'd have a theme song for his name. Then he could really love science too. it's perfect.

Rider-let's be honest, this is a cowboy name. and i love cowboys. So, if i don't marry a cowboy named Rider, i'm naming a son Rider. And apparently ash is too. haha.

Ames

Ayden

Hudson- dad said, "like the body of water?"

Piercen- personally love this one. super handsome name.

Rogan- "it sounds like Rogane" {i don't know how to spell that word} but i don't think so!

obviously i'm not too too much into the whole average names. I like unique names. I grew up not having too many Brianna's in any school or class i was ever in. Ash on the other hand, had a million and 3/4. the only thing that set her first name different than any other was the spelling. Same with Emilie. I am a fan of unique/non over used names.

and my husband will have little say. :P jk, he'll obviously just love the names i choose because who doesn't love all those names?? :D

is it weird that i have a list saved on my computer that i add to titled "future baby names list" ? even so, i think it's a grand idea. What are your favorite names? Who else does this besides Ash and I??

Do any guys do this? or is it a girl thing mostly?

i have a tramatic experience to share with you.

you know my handsome fish, whisk? {cool name huh?} He's a Male Beta. Well i was changing his fishy bowl water like i always do on Sundays and when i was straining him from his old water to his new water, he decided to disobey my wishes and jump out! so then i had a scared whisk flopping all over the counter and i didn't know how to pick the poor guy up! {You could tell he was scared because of the look on his face, clearly!} but how do you pick up a semi-flat slimy thing that is squishable? okay let's be honest, i was more traumatized than he was! i was literally screaming and everyone rushed into the kitchen to see what was going on} and it took me a good 10 seconds to get him back to water. If only he'd just listen. he acted as if we've never done this before. gee whilackers.

And he was DEAD!!!!!!

okay, i only thought he was dead cause he didn't move for a long time. mom said, "you knocked the water out of him!" {get it, like knock the wind out... never mind, probably one of those "had to be there moments" that so often happen to me. then when i go to retell it i get blank looks of "how do i respond to that"}

Anyways, Whisk is alive. I'm not sure how well he's doing still though. he doesn't really move as often as he usually does.

Who knows about beta fish health? Should i take him to the fish doctor? is there even a such thing as a fish doctor? would this be a marine biologist? geez. so many questions i have today!

And here is a list of random things i did this week-

• took a feather out of someones hair. I'm glad he asked me to because it was kinda funny lookin. But it was a really funny experience. I enjoyed it. haha
• listed my first item{s} for sale on ebay
• drove all the way to layton {more than an hour!!!} to eat at Popeye's to find that we could not eat at it because it's on the durn military base!!!!!!!!! Worst news of my life. if you've never tasted their chicken you have not lived. you know KFC? yeah, well that is like eating dirt compared to popeyes. i miss food from the south.
• transported plants from orem to springville
• got my bangs cut
• had a cold. who gets a cold in the summer? maybe i should call them a hot. it's not very cold in the summer. who came up with that name anyway? maybe we should just stick to calling it a virus. or sick.
• got a bruise on my left pointer finger nail from i have not a clue what.
• over analyzed. {shocker}
• counted my mosquito bites. i have 13. I'm so going to die of west nile. Do people East of the Nile not get this? I just don't understand how some things get their names. Like "drive way" normally people park in a drive way.
• made emilie smell a leaf during a photo shoot i did of her.
• got to 21 days left till moving back to Logan!

all around an excellent week.

peace out girl scouts. {and boys too. but i think more girls read this than boys.}

xoxo

that picture you've been waiting for, and s'more lists, Oh! and a poll..

I have no idea what to blog about. dumdedumdedum.

okay so because i'm really good at lists i am going to make a composite of all the things i have to do to get ready to leave for school-

• edit Ashleigh's wedding day pictures {because i've put it off for 4 months and still am trying to figure out why...}
• edit melody's newborn pictures
• do a photo shoot of Quinton and Emilie
• edit said photo shoots
• sell my metal canister and reels for the darkroom to buy plastic ones because i am really bad at using the metal ones.
• order film for my studio class.
• go through boxes i left at home this past year and give most of it to DI
• go through boxes still packed from last semester and figure out the stuff i don't need to bring so i don't have so much stuff that goes unused at school
• get my bangs cut again. {tonight at 8:20}
• transfer all of my pictures on my laptop to my external hard drives so that my computer has more space.
• print new pictures to go into my new picture frames that are cool colors to decorate my apartment with. :D
• find a rodeo and go to it and then find a cowboy there. {or at least the going part. ;) }
• wax Calvin, my car.
• go to the roberts craft store and buy supplies to make my journals for the next year.
• make those journals even better than the year before. {which were really awesome!}
• 
  
• survive 27 days of counting down

firsts-

• tried curry.
• match made.... welllll..... it's on it's way.......
• first summer cold. :( boo!!!

i think that's enough with my lists.

and because i love you people, i am going to post 2 funny pictures-

sorry but i couldn't help myself with this one. Kraig and I on cliff hanger. i love his face here. hahahahahahahahaha.

this is my niece, i came home to her sleeping in Emilie's bed like this. both of her hands were between her thighs and her legs hanging off the bed. note the journal i made her on the bottom left side of the picture. i made it for her for her baptism and she has written in it every night since then. like aunt like niece. i'm so proud. :D I love this little girl. She pretty much my favorite. :D

p.s. my dog snores real loud sometimes. like right now while she's laying next to me. it's real funny.

p.s. i am going to make a poll on here, you should vote in it.

it is entitled- which of my fabulous blog posts is your favoritists. {most favorite}

the first 3 are the ones that i have the most hits on-

adventures of finals week {which probably is the #1 because it's the first picture i put up of my new hair cut....and people like to look at my hair or something.?..... yeah never mind, i have no realistic idea. :P} this is about the adventures i had during finals week. haha

Ashleigh's engaged! this title is pretty self explanatory. i think a lot of people came to my blog to read about it because ashleigh was too busy making out with Nathan to make a post of her own. although, if you want to read a really funny post by ash of nathan's first proposal attempt you should read this and if you want the real one, read this.

The long awaited post- my kissing list! which i'm pretty sure got a lot of hits because it's about kissing {number one} and i think that a lot of guys secretly want to know of some good ways to kiss a girl. JOKE! i doubt that last one was one of the reasons. anyways, i'm a fan of this post.

and the next ones are my favorites....i think. the ones that don't have too many hits but are the funniest to read about. let's just say- they are under-appreciated.

being smart in college is easy. {MY PERSONAL ALL TIME FAVORITE} i'm telling you what's in it, because it'll ruin the grand surprise. okay i'll tell you. it involves public restrooms and TP. and other things.

when my thumb felt like falling off. this one is about a time that a frozen can of pop exploded and hurt the feelings of my cute lil' thumb. don't make fun of me, it's a true story! not even "based on a true story"

nude man, eating slugs, first win, and fun weekend. this one is pretty self explanatory too. only this one is real good because i won my first ever game of just dance. heh. which in itself makes this a good post. but mostly because it also has some pretty grandly hilarious stories.

yes mom, my liver is fine. this one is about some good and bad things about this week. a lot about my adventures in the photo lab. which honestly, i miss very dearly. almost as dearly as i love my liver that was fine.

so anyways, once again you should read them and then vote. over to the right! :D

infinite X's and O's.

AND my blog get's a new facelift. And Craig get's a haircut. And lauren sporting my purse stuck on her fingers.

So i designed this new banner in PS. {photoshop helllloooo}

this is how long it took- A long time x16.16 But it's cute, no?

anyways, i like it.

and in honor of the facelift, i will show you a funny video of craig cutting his hair. you can see it at this lovely site called youtube.

Also i really enjoy this one and this one.

so strange things of the past few days-

someone told me i had a nice singing voice.... i don't think i've ever been told this.

also, some random guy that came through my line today at work told me i was beautiful. And he wasn't even an old man or my dad! made me feel nice. :D

Lauren Super glued her fingers to my purse. Here's the story- we were at a fireside, that was really really good. the lady is the great great great granddaughter of Joseph Smith the prophet. Anyways, she was playing with a bead on my purse and it fell off. so then she had to locate it under my chair and when she got it back, she tried to put it back on and then i told her i had super glue in my purse. {i'm like a boy scout- always prepared} and so she gets it out, squeezes it and this is what happens- the bead doesn't stick, but 3 of lauren's fingers did! hahahaha! so now i'm laughing as quietly as i can because we're still in a supposed to be reverent environment and then she ends up having to rip her fingers off. and with it, came some of my purse. hahahah! it was so funny. she then said, "i didn't know that super glue stuck to skin!" gotta love lauren.

stuck

with my purse on her fingers

we also made this beauty

we put gum wrappers over the gum package. We're real creative and amazing.

i went bowling and got a score of 31. :D

i bowled like this-

and this

etc.

and here are some random pictures of the past few weeks that i quite enjoy.

i love this so much. once again, i didn't didn't flip the picture. sorry readers.
Q sleeping with Kandi, who turns NINE tomorrow!!

and this is a cart full of gum boxes. i put ALL of this gum away. it took around 4 hours. i quite enjoyed it actually!

i went to Lagoon again. and i was the only girl in the group. And it was very interesting. it was fun, don't get me wrong, i just never ever am the only girl. and i learned a lot about guys. Like what a blue dart is.... which i'd be fine if i didn't know what that was. And a lot of other things that i noticed. very informative day.
and then Kraig insisted on getting the pig. And i rode on a horse. cause ya know, to marry a cowboy, you have to be able to ride a horse... even if it's a plastic one. same difference.

my sister em, makes some serious writing mistakes and needed this eraser. it weighs like a pound!!

and i saw these license plates and kinda had a freak out session. so i car stalked them and took the pictures. this red car almost ran me over. i was walking in the parking lot and they were backing up. so naturally instead of running out of the way, i pulled out my camera and snapped a picture of their license plate.

and this one i made Lauren stop so i could take a picture. I'm seriously happy with my finds. Next license plate i see that's cool i'll post it for you. be on the edge of your seat. i tend to find cool ones. :D

and this is all for now. because i have bowl of this delightful stuff waiting in the freezer for me.

i highly recommend it. :D
